Android Application Infrastructure Engineer

We're looking for people who are passionate about building the foundational components that underpin great Android applications. Android Application Infrastructure Engineers enable Android Product Engineers to build new features quickly, safely, and with confidence.

You've been around for a few API levels and you know how to delight Android users. As an application infrastructure engineer, you will find yourself looking deeper than the immediate bug or problem in front of you and towards how you can design a system that prevents the issue from happening in the first place. Your code will be the foundation for the core features of the Slack Android client and you will constantly be thinking of ways to make the app perform better for Slack’s users. Use your extensive knowledge of building and scaling applications across a wide array of Android devices to make the Slack experience on Android be the best it can possibly be.

Slack on Android is used by millions of people every week - we need engineers who want to make that experience as enjoyable as possible.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field, or equivalent training, fellowship, or work experience

Extensive understanding of Android framework components and their respective lifecycles

Experience with complex API and library design and implementation, with an emphasis on modularity
